  Stylish 7-seater - 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca
  By zoomer - December 19 - 6:56 pm

  Purchased new in 05. Reliability has been good, none of the issues reported by others. Performance is fine for an SUV. Third row comes in handy now and then for our small children and others. Werent many 7 seat options back then (not MDX, Highlander, etc.) and we didnt want the mega SUV or minivan. Overall, happy with the experience.

  Final pick - 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca
  By DLS - December 6 - 12:03 pm

  Sorry, will pick up Tribeca in 2 days. Just arrived on showroom floor today - but did take a 1 hour test drive. For 2 months have looked at Mercedes C & E, BMW 5, Audi A4&6, MDX, RX330, and Volvo XC70. MDX getting mixed reviews and low mileage for 45K. RX330 is plush with nice features but again 45K with Navigation. Mercedes, BMW and Audi getting mediocre marks from CR on reliability. FINALLY found a car with the right features and performance for the right price. This car is as quiet as the RX330. Zero road noise and a whisper of wind noise at 70 mph. Hwy MPG = mid-20s. Excellent radio, Nav, AWD, loaded with safety features and (hopefully) Subarus good rep. Car is tight, responsive and solid.

  My Tribeca -- a good choice! - 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca
  By P. Clarke - October 22 - 4:00 pm

  Love it! Whether zipping around town or settling down for a road trip it is fun to drive. It has great response to the gas pedal and the steering wheel. Have been on a trip from Cincinnati to Lawton OK and another to Savannah GA and enjoyed the Tribeca on the road as much as in the city.

  Ode to an AWD Alfa Romeo.... - 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca
  By PapaHawk - October 21 - 4:10 am

  Capable, confident, and charismatic! The Subaru B9 Tribeca is the complete 7-passenger AWD package. With its Italian styling, Japanese engineering, and 100% Subaru core, this vehicle is destined to enjoy a long ride along the American road, and one of these beauties will always be parked in my garage! This is an amazing vehicle. It is a pleasure to own and a joy to drive. It has my unqualified support as the best automotive value in the SUV world.

  Huge Disappointment! - 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca
  By Unhappy - September 15 - 2:06 pm

  Boy, am I disappointed and angry. This B9 started breaking down at approximately 40,000 miles and has not run properly since, despite four trips to the dealership. I lost all compression and had to have 2 Valve intakes, 2 valve exchanges, 13 o rings, and several gaskets replaced. It took two breakdowns to get this fixed. Now, one cylinder is not functioning. The dealership is not wanting to admit that this is a lemon and replace it as they should. I have contacted the national Subaru corporation for all the good it will do me. Be careful if you buy this auto. You too could get stuck with a lemon.

  good car for the money - 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca
  By alpesh patel - September 6 - 11:03 am

  I had Volvo s40 2005. I had to give that car away and get the B9. This car is very well put together and runs great. Yea one minor issue, the gas. It seems like it is giving me a 16 to 17 not 18 or 19 mpg. But on the highway this car runs and is very quite. Inside they have done their homework. I love the boxer 3.0l engine. Best so far.

  the Tribeca crossover - 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca
  By Len Barta - September 5 - 6:20 am

  After owning the Tribeca for about three weeks, I must say we are very pleased with the car. We find the vehicle has an ample amount of leg room both front and back. We like the fact that the rear seats have fore and aft movement. The car handles beautifully. So far it’s been a pleasure to own.

  A complete Ride? - 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca
  By dsmyers - July 17 - 2:50 am

  This ride met all criteria when we purchased. At least we thought so. It was advertised and listed on the sticker to get 18 city 23 MPG highway. The highest we have seen is 16.9 MPG. Bums me out that I didnt verify this before we purchased. We have to set aside some extra $$ in budget for gas. Also, we cant be the only ones. There is something very different with the low beams. It displays a broken line in front of you. The Subaru factory said thats the way it is. Subaru dealer said we were not first the TB9 owners to make this claim. It is a flaw I tell you. Subaru (everyday is a winding road). A dark winding road can be dangerous one. During the day it is a very sturdy, safe ride.
